Per Eldora schedule silver Crown qualifying on Friday night. Should have decent track to hot lap and qualify on.

Ancient wise man say man who get into race for free never see bad race.

2 pit passes, and a hotel room required now for a one day race.

I understand that, but it was also required at the 4-Crown for years too, because it was always 2 days for one feature in each class. Not saying that was right either though.

Went to 40+ races this year and the 4 crown was not even in the top 38 I went to. I'm sorry, but this fan will spend his money elsewhere that weekend.

I have never seen anyone from USAC post negative comments about WAR or POWRi on this page. I understand you are also a Silver Crown competitor, but it is usually classier to not get involved. Who knows there may be incentives, it is still 10 months away.

Id say Brent can pay for a teams pit passes, night in the hotel, food etc for a extra day. Then it has meaning.

No offence Brent, but it isn't like Eldora is popular for SC anyway, Add a extra day. Back to 15 teams

Wow. Already attacking someone for their thoughts. And its Probably an Eldora doing not a USAC doing.

Ha ok... don’t try and make something bigger then it is.. I AM a racer that competes in not only the silver crown class, but also their sprint car and midget class, and I have been doing that for almost 20 years. It was simply stating that it will now cost teams more money and time, pretty simple. If I wanted to talk down or bad about a particular sanctioning body or track, I would make sure it was very clear.

Looks like you will not be seeing my car at the 4 crown in 2018. There is zero need for the silver crowns cars to be forced to do a two day show.

Im "Joltin" Joe Liguori and i approve this message.

Adding expenses to the crown race with the lowest car count every year does seem counterproductive...and I love silver crowns.
